Which Razor Scooter?

[HLAuburn]

DD 5 has a Razor scooter on her Xmas list, so I'm trying to figure out which one would be best for her. We're definitely NOT going with an electric, so I guess I need to decide whether I should get a 3 wheel "Razor Jr" or the regular 2 wheel kind.

She might be a little old for the Junior, but the regular one says 5 and up, so I'm worried it might be too hard for her to balance and all. Should I get her the Jr so she can get the hang of it and then maybe move her up to the regular one, or is the regular one easy enough for her to learn pretty quickly?

Thanks!

My kids all used the regular starting around the age of 3 (I swear, those things multiply!). They've also lost their training wheels before kindergarten, and I think the razor helped them with balance. We had a couple of 3 wheeled scooters, but the kids liked the 2 wheel ones much more.

I'd go with the 2 wheeled version. My son got the 3 wheeled for his 3rd birthday and I think that is great for his age cause I am pretty certain he's not falling or whatever, but for my daughter (who is 5yo) the balance isn't as much of an issue.

Our 6 year old is getting the regular 2 wheel Razor for Xmas. She is getting the pink Daisy version.

She had a three wheel scooter that she got last Xmas and she did not like it at all.

My 5 year old is getting a two wheeled one. He has had a three wheeled one, and it is time to move up.
